by Carey Crim

A great Girl’s Night Out. Grab the women you love and GO!

A WORLD PREMIERE!

Imagine Steel Magnolias with modern day issues, as six women gather for a much-needed girls’ night out. The plan is to eat, drink and create works of art at a local Paint and Sip night studio while celebrating a bride to be. But as the alcohol flows, so do their thoughts on motherhood and womanhood, and their carefully curated lives get hilariously and heartbreakingly real. Paint Night is about the powerful way women support each other in an unpredictable world and what happens when we put down our cellphones, truly connect, and paint outside the lines of our comfort zone.

Meet the playwright at a post-show discussion following the Saturday, Oct 21, 3pm matinee.

Thank You To Our Partners
